I bought the Aprilia heel guard with the mounting kit for 20$ and it came with a longer spacer for the bolt. I guess it doesn't really mater, but just so you know that the mounting kit is not only the double sided tape.
Honestly didn't even know they sold it as a kit. I just saw you can buy the double sided tape separately lol! A longer spacer for the bolt would have been nice though, the OEM one is a tad tricker to fit this guard
Changed the look of the bike completely but I sacrificed the rear field of vision. I like to see if CHP or LAPD is coming up behind me or getting on the on-ramp on the freeway. Now I have make to make a more concerted effort of tucking in my elbows in and craning my neck. Keeping them though. The cool factor is strong.
@@franciscoxavier3073 LOL! I hear ya man. Cali cops are next level so always gotta be on the look out. Especially on these bikes...easy to get carried away 🤣
SKXIII, our bikes are looking more and more like twins, lol. I told you it would look great. Still no scuff marks on mine at all…yet anyway. I don’t think I’m gonna get any so it will probably look new for a very long time. As you know, my RS660 is still at the dealership waiting on those Italian parts to be shipped from overseas. So frustrating going on three months. Anyone that purchases iItalian style bikes if you ever need replacement OEM parts coming straight from Aprilia you were definitely gonna wait for a while. That’s the huge downside. As far as reliability bike has been very reliable. I’ll let you know when I get the bike back and talk about the mods that’ll be put on it as well. I’ll upload more pictures so you can check it out. So let me know what you think. Till then ride safe and as always I appreciate the videos. I’m wondering if you went to CRG bar end mirrors that I’m planning to get along with the blinker block offs for the front fairing. Let me know your thoughts. Let’s do something fun…let me see if you or all your viewers can guess what color change on a certain area on on my 2022 RS660 Apex Black model that I’m going to change!!! The only hint that I will give you is that it would’ve been a design change in 2022 or even in 2021 and when I asked Aprilia if they can do that simple change for me to be different and unique, they said they could not do it because it was a design change, so guess what they did? this will be fun to see if you guys can guess the right answer. Either way I’ll be back on to check out your mirror review and look forward to seeing it and hopefully you respond to my comments. Oh, and I’ll give you a simple hint then I’m not changing the color of the bike like if I was to paint the pharynx. OK enough hints but see if you guys can get it. As always, stay alert, be safe and ride smart.🔥🔥💥💥💯💯💪🏼💪🏼🤘🏼🙏🏼
@@SK_XIII yes, you are correct but there’s something else that I’m changing on the color side another hint it has nothing to do with the pharynx themselves specifically.
@@SK_XIII well I’ll let you know as soon as I get the bike back. I’ll take some quick pictures. Have a nice little photo shoot and maybe do a walk around video. Talk soon.
I can’t decide if I want to get the rs660 because of the reliability. The only other bike I was thinking about was the cbr650r. (As a first bike and daily driver)
That's fair. I won't lie, I had similar concerns going in too. I will likely make a video in the near future what my experience has been like for the past year and what the common reliability issues with the 660 platform have been. I will say thought, vast majority of the RS660s have had no issues
I bought mine directly from AF1 Racing's website. You have to buy the double sided tape separately though. Here's the link: www.af1racing.com/2b006677-oem-aprilia-rh-swingarm-heel-guard-2b006677-does-not-include-adhesive
I had the tuono 660 heel guard installed on my rs660 from the dealer when i took delivery, it fits perfectly no issues.
Nice! so far mine is staying on without issues too
I just in my deposit for my 2023 RS660 extrema. I believe it comes with this heal guard so im glad I don’t have to purchase it separately
I didn't realize! you are absolutely right. I wish it just came on all the RS660 models though :D
Goo gone damaged the paint on my RS660 frame on the left warning sticker. Heads up on that.

where did you get it?
Yeah I really should change mine. The plastic already started ripping off anyways.
Yupp...once it starts peeling a little, a bunch of dirt and grime gets stuck under it smh
I say you went with the Rizoma Stealth mirrors. I have them on my 2022 Touno 660 and let's just say its form over function at least on the naked.
🤣🤣 I suppose we'll find out soon! Do you like them so far?

Looks easy enough.
So, the footrest bracket, itself, has no heel guard on it?
Nope...nothing on the footrest. If you get aftermarket rear sets though, I have seen some of them include the heel guard panel them
Thats my favorite color! What is the modelyear and color?😊
Mine is a 2021 Lava Red color 👌

oooof....thats a hard guess brotha. Not changing the color? Only other thing I can guess is....you're adding carbon fiber bits? haha

Thanks for letting me know, I’ll be looking out for that video.
where did you buy this from? I just picked up my RS660 and need to change it too.
